Requirement · part of 4. Learn the disciplines your format uses

4(B). Option B, Duathlon: biking and running

Optional May not apply

This may not apply to you. You have not answered "Requirement 3(d): which multisport format?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

Two discipline blocks and no swim leg. This is the only option on the badge that does not put the Swimming merit badge in front of requirements 5 through 8.

Note. Duathlon has no swim leg, and so no Swimming merit badge in front of requirements 5 through 8. That is the only structural difference between the four options. Everything else is which of the same three blocks you do.

What this is made of

4(B)(1). Biking
4(B)(2). Running

Where this step comes from

Multisport Merit Badge Requirements (Merit Badge Hub, last modified 2026-01-26), Requirement 4(B) · The only option with no swim block, and therefore the only route through the badge with no Swimming merit badge prerequisite. Read the option in full before relying on that.
